Tune in to the AUDIENCE Network concert special “Daya” airing Friday, April 28 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT via DIRECTV Ch 239, AT&T U-verse Ch 1114 and DIRECTV NOW. On the heels of her spring tour, GRAMMY Award-winning musician Daya (pronounced “day-uh”) will be the featured artist on AT&T AUDIENCE Network. The show will delve into the multi-platinum-selling songwriter and musician’s influences in an interview with series host Ted Stryker as well as a full concert featuring songs from her gold-certified debut album Sit Still, Look Pretty (ArtBeatz) including “Hide Away” and more. Watch the trailer for the “Daya” concert special (here) and a behind-the-scenes clip (here).

For a sneak peek of the AUDIENCE Network concert “Daya,” view an exclusive full-song performance of the lilting piano ballad “Back To Me” on YAHOO (here).

Daya describes “Back to Me” as “the rawest and most vulnerable song on the album, and it’s one of my favorites to perform live.  It’s about seeing a different, toxic side of someone you trusted and deciding to let them go for your own good even though the reality of it sucks and a part of you wishes you could just go back to how it was.”
